"What's that mean, then, what's that mean? Always the same, weren't yeh, Dumby, talking and doing nothing, nothing, I don't even know why the Dark Lord's bothering to kill yeh!”
Name: Amycus Carrow
Age: Mid-40s?
OC or Canon: Canon
Former house: Unknown, presumable Slytherin
Blood Status: pure
Wand: 12 inches, Blackthorn, Unicorn hair
Profession: Death Eater, Deputy Headmaster, Dark Arts Professor
Physical Description: Amycus Carrow was squat and lumpy, with a lopsided leer. He was hunched, had a pallid, face described as pig-like and tiny eyes. He has short black hair.
Typical clothing: Mostly unadorned black robes.
Picture:
Family: Alecto Carrow (sister)
Personality: Amycus is a sadistic man who enjoys punishing and torturing students. Arguably the less intelligent of the Carrow siblings, he is also a coward, especially when faced with the prospect of punishment from the Dark Lord, unashamed of blaming others for his and his sister’s mistakes and arrogant as well. Rude and offensive, Amycus is also hot-tempered, prone to responding with violence and without warning.
History: A death-eater in the First Wizarding War along with his sister, Amycus was one of those who believed Voldemort’s so-called death to be permanent, and avoided receiving a sentence in Azkaban. Amycus rejoined the Death Eater ranks upon Voldemort’s eventual return, participating in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, during which he taunted Dumbledore shortly before the latter’s death, and also duelled Ginny Weasley as the Death Eaters made their escape. Upon the fall of the Ministry in 1997, Amycus took up the role of Deputy Headmaster and Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, where he and his sister also manage punishments.
Sample: Amycus’ black robes swirled behind him as he strode through the class full of seventh-years to take his position at the front of the room. The Death Eater glared with undisguised contempt down at his class. “I bet yeh’re all used to this class as ‘Defence’ against the Dark Arts.” He began. A pair of Slytherins nudged one another expectantly. “This year, yeh won’t be learning any of that. No more defence - yeh going to be learning about the Dark Arts. All the spells and curses, how to use them – and yeh get to practice on snivelling little first-years.”
A murmur ran around the class at that. A few Slytherins grinned at each other maliciously, a few Gryffindors looked horrified, but most of the room were looking as though they didn’t quite believe him. One Hufflepuff actually let loose a snort of laughter. Amycus scowled.
“Yeh think I’m joking, do yeh? Crucio!”
The Hufflepuff collapsed, writhing in agony. Most of the room seemed to shrink back away from him, while the bunch of Slytherins leant forward in anticipation. Amycus favoured them with a nasty grin.
“This class isn’t going to be like anything yeh’ve studied before.”
